CM6 intergrate Wi-Max notifier, extra 3 colored led's

anyone know a way to get a message to the CM6 team, i don't use twitter?

i found this thread about another set of LED's on the right side of the grill that another XDA member has whipped up some code to use them for various notifications, since CM6 is the king of customizations i was hoping he could somehow port this over so we could take advantage of it. i could only get the code posted to work on sense roms, it would not run for me on CM6.

Thanks in advance!

This is a known bug on both 6.0 and the nightlys. There is an issue submitted for it:

code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2136

Please star it if you haven't already. I just got a notification today on the issue that its priority was moved from Low to Normal. Fingers crossed that it means someone is working on it.
[EVO 4G General] OgremustCrush:
Yeah, that bug has been bothering me for months. Glad it finally got a bump in priority.
[EVO 4G General] lafrad:
Crap, really!?!? time to test that i guess.

DOn't know if I will be able to live with a 240 density again tho...
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
I dont think I am ready to give the LCD Density for Skype - with NO Video chat.

I have Gvoice which does a perfect job for me.
[EVO 4G General] lafrad:
GVoice eats nicely into my Sprint minutes... so its only really used for voicemail.

Skype is nice if you have lots of other skype friends... no longer are paying for skype out when they call my skype account...
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
Well I have unlimited mobile to mobile and all calls i make/receive are mobile ones, Sero Plan, so no worries here with going over minute limits :D

Feel sorry for you
[EVO 4G General] lafrad:
any calls that go through google voice are a call to or from a landline.

Voicemail forwarding is a bit different, I don't think that digs into the minuntes.

So, If I, on my Sprint, called you, using my google voice number, both of our sprint minutes would be used. Neat, eh?
[EVO 4G General] Kykiskly:
Good debate :). Anyway, but seriously, would you give away you good density screen for Skype with NO video?
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
not true, since mobile to mobile calls are free....
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
not a chance in hell....
[EVO 4G General] mrmylanman:
Except you are calling Google Voice, which in turn calls whoever you are calling. It is just behind the scenes so you don't realize it's going on.

That's why I just use Google Voice for my voicemail (you can have it forwarded from your Sprint number to there) as I don't like the fact that there is no MMS support with Google Voice. That way they can still call my number and if they go to voicemail that shows up in my Google Voice box.

It would be nice to dive into the different features of Google Voice if they ever get around to supporting MMS though.
[EVO 4G General] lafrad:
I KNOW mobile to Mobile calls are free. BUT, Sprint is legally NOT allowed to "Spoof" your phone number. So, the phone call MUST go through google's phone servers, if you want the phone number on the other side to show up as your google voice number. thats REQUIRED.

Same thing if someone CALLS YOU. if they call your google voice number, google receives it (land line) then calls your phone (but they ARE allowed to spoof the incoming number). BUT that still results in a LAND LINE calling your mobile file.

So, any call done using your google voice number will NOT be a mobile to mobile call, because every call done using your google voice number is going through a landline.
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
They probably will eventually support it. I don't care much for MMS personally. I just share pictures via email. Everyone I would MMS has a smart phone.

The thing that I can't stand is that the GV app doesn't support sending texts to more than one person at once!
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
the ONLY thing I miss about Verizon, is that if you had a friends and family call plan, you could use GV in it, and make and receive calls from that entire group, using GV, and not use ANY minutes...Too bad Sprint doesn't have a "friends and Family" plan for evo users..
[EVO 4G General] mrmylanman:
I'm not so sure, people have been asking about it for over a year now and Google has provided pretty much no answers to it.
[EVO 4G General] phynal:
I have the "pick 3" option from Sprint, aka the mobile to home, and I just add my GV number to that. So it's free too.
[EVO 4G General] timdsmith72:
Can somebody provide a link to the EVO Nightly builds' kernel source?

I know about this:

http://github.com/CyanogenMod/htc-kernel-supersonic

but it doesn't look like anything there has been updated since August so I'm pretty sure that is for 6.0.0 stable.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] warrencarreiro:
Here it is. Updated nightly.

http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic&type=nightly
[EVO 4G General] stroths:
Just make sure you are using an older build of GV (I use .30) to ensure your dialed number doesn't change.
[EVO 4G General] timdsmith72:
Thanks, but I was looking for the nightly kernel source. I've got the nightly link. Thanks though!!
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
can you get that "pick 3 " option with an EVO family plan?
[EVO 4G General] RichTJ99:
I dont know, I tried to density app & I didnt really find it worked well. I admit, I did try it on Sense & everything looked crappy. Is it better with CM6 (of course everything is).
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
what density setting did you use?

180-190 seems to work the best for me

Graphics are razor sharp on CM6 with this set properly..
[EVO 4G General] RichTJ99:
I think I used 200 & I found my homescreen looked funky.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
try it at 180 and see if you l ike it...
[EVO 4G General] jerrygon:
Can you explain to me how I can set my density?

Edit: Forget it... Found the app (LCD Density) in the market place.
[EVO 4G General] WillJitsu:
I'm not sure if this is related to the latest nightly or not, but I just noticed today that if I get a missed call, it auto-opens the call log and clears the notification. Therefore, if I wasn't at my phone at the time and I go turn the screen on, it's already at the call log and the notification is already cleared from the top bar. Is anyone else noticing this?
[EVO 4G General] maxdamage2122:
I find that at 180 the buttons when you press menu are messed up. At 186 they go back to normal so that is the density I personally use.
[EVO 4G General] DomSim:
Never mind
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
anyone notice that in #106, Swype doesnt work properly?

it shows up, and you can tap on the keys and it works, but if you try to "swype" letters, it doesnt show up on the screen...
[EVO 4G General] lafrad:
192 is what I use on the density... The icons and text are then similar to phones like the hero...

[EVO 4G General] bigant262:
Dude, how did you get that download and upload speed with Road Runner? Reason I'm asking is because I live by Milwaukee also. And I get nowhere near that.
[EVO 4G General] BB15:
That isn't an issue with the build. Your Swype beta expired.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
interesting, because its not a beta version, and I did not get any warning about a beta being expired...
[EVO 4G General] BB15:
There is no official market release, so anything that is available for the EVO is built off of the beta release. I've had mine expire 3 or 4 times now (without warning). I finally just switched to ShapeWriter.
[EVO 4G General] pdlboy:
Sometimes this happens to me. I just switch to the stock keyboard and back to Swype and swyping works again.
[EVO 4G General] lowspeed:
Unplugging the audio jack no longer stops the music ... :-\
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
Did it used to?

I've noticed what's always been a bug is that if music is playing and you get a call, music pauses. You unplug said headphones. Finish your call and hang up. Right after hanging up it starts blasting through the speaker!
[EVO 4G General] warmthsound:
I've done some searching and didn't find anything really relevant to my problem. Is anyone else having issues with apps not installing at all, even through titanium backup? I have back ups of several apps that won't install and when I redownload them through the market, they just fail at installation. Kinda wierd.
[EVO 4G General] TheDave1022:
Ever since moving to the 10X builds, I get random reboots a few times a day. I'll likely have to go back to a September nightly.
[EVO 4G General] posguy99:
Yes, that's usually a configuration option in whatever music player you think you're using.
[EVO 4G General] fr4nk1yn:
Does the Titanium backup crash the phone? If so is the backups then corrupted?

For some reason, my transfer rates to the SD card have fallen off the highspeed bandwagon. My class 10 card used to run faster than the designated speed, but now it seems limited to class 2. Anyone else have this issue with other cards of higher than stock speed?

Why for the life of me can no one fix the dang mms to large problem in the nightlies. I have tried calcs mms fix and still won't send a video that is only 20 secs on low quality

Cyanogen is working on wimax!!! From his twitter:

"Was working on Evo WiMax yesterday, gotta figure out the power management. Woke up with a dead battery."
[EVO 4G General] davpel:
Best news of the week!
[EVO 4G General] stangdriverdoug:
That tweet would suggest that he has it working....just needs to fine tune.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
i had this issue. it turned out to be a bad sd card reader on the phone. i changed it and now my phone reads my class 10 at least class 8 speeds.
[EVO 4G General] warmthsound:
Nope, just says failed. What's wierd is the apps that fail at restoration in Titanium also fail if I were to try and install them from the sd card or from the market. Didn't have that problem until I wiped clean and started fresh.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
nothing kills a battery faster than 4g..

thats one of the reasons I dont really miss it on CM6; between super fast wireless at home, and fast 3G in chicago land, I dont miss it at all..
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
I disagree. When I have a good 4g signal, having 4g on never killed my battery while it's on all day at work. It was about the same on or off. Also, when you are using 4g while browsing or other data heavy activity, everything is faster, so it takes less time to transfer all the data, so the radio is working for less time overall while transferring data.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
this is not true, 4g with one or more bars will save power, but if it's struggling to get a 4g signal then that will use up all your battery power. you can't even throw 3g speeds in with 4g, they don't compare. I get 6-7mbps on 4g out here, 3g isn't even 1mbps consistently.
[EVO 4G General] lafrad:
Heh.. its the speed test from our connection at work ;-)
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
how did you do that ?
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
You guys are both wrong..ask 100 people if 4G kills their battery faster than 3G and 95 will say yes; here is Chicago, where 4G is probably the best anywhere, that is what everyone I have talked to about this says, including my wife who has a evo..

I was getting around 3-4 megs with 4g, and I get around 1.5 -2 megs with 3g...how fast do you really need data to be on your phone? I mean, are you downloading blu-ray movies with it, or just getting email and web surfing?

for data intensive stuff, obviously 4G is nice, but, if I had to go back to a sense rom and have 4G, or stay with CM, I am staying with CM...If he gets wimax to work, thats great, but, its not that big of a deal to everyone, especially those who have high speed wifi at home/office...
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
hey any major updates in 108 ?
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
just throwing it on now..
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
You're getting crappy 4G speeds. I get at least 7mbps-down/1mbps-up at home and at work... And that's with 1-2 bars indoors. I also got better battery life once I was in a good strong area, which meant I was in my house or front lawn or grabbing lunch from Cosi's at work.

Swyped from my EVO via the XDA app
[EVO 4G General] BB15:
That's like saying your car gets better gas mileage with the pedal to the metal. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
Do what? Change the phone? I went through insurance since I had many more issues with it. It's a long saga well-documented here..

Swyped from my EVO via the XDA app
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
In STL, I only seem to average .5 mbps, which sucks. Everybody has a different experience, and a lot depends on location. You act as though everything you say is fact by just randomly saying stuff like Chicago has the best 4G or ask anyone, when you have no real proof besides your own experience to back it up.

Edit: I do agree about having wifi, it's definitely the best as far as speed and battery, but I only have that at home.

LOL, what a ridiculous analogy. Comparing a combustion engine to a phone with no moving parts is crazy.
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
lol sorry i misread that
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
if what you say is true, then why are your download speeds so slow? I don't need to ask anyone, I have 4g in my area and can test myself. as long as you get 1 bar and its not going in and out, battery is better on 4g
[EVO 4G General] BB15:
Jesus Christ! I wasn't comparing a combustion engine to a phone. :rolleyes: I was saying the rationale behind that particular sentence was like driving fast and expecting better gas mileage. 4G is faster and requires more processing power that 3G so one could/should expect lesser battery life on their phone.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
I'm going to have to disagree with you. 4G is faster, yes, but it doesn't necessarily use more power overall, if you are in a well covered area. Most people who are getting bad battery life on 4G are getting crappy speeds. That's a big indicator that the 4G radio is working overtime to search for a better signal.

Swyped from my EVO via the XDA app
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
yeah, wifi yields the best battery life and gives the best performance
[EVO 4G General] BB15:
Speaking from my own experience, I get TERRIBLE battery life on 4G and get great speeds (Seattle). I won't pretend to be an expert on the matter, but it makes sense that more powerful features would equate to more battery drain.
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
this is wrong. connecting to a 3g tower uses far more power then connecting to 4g our wifi. the radio is what is using the battery
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
Beat me to it.

No one has a issue with sending mms. And it saying they are to large. I have asked this question several times and no answer
[EVO 4G General] kris54241:
Touche
[EVO 4G General] BB15:
Well, like I said. In MY experience, my battery life on 3G is significantly better than when I'm on a strong 4G signal. Whatever the reason, that is a fact. I admittedly am not an expert on the matter.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
...?

i'm curious.. what do you consider great speeds? a strong signal? i don't mean to question, i just want to quantify the definitions to compare to what i tested.
[EVO 4G General] kraminc:
Ill answer your question. I have no issues sending mms.
[EVO 4G General] BB15:
I'd love to provide some quantifiable data, but it's been months since I've used 4G (since switching to CM). I didn't record any data that would be helpful (actual numbers). I doubt "3 bars and 4Mb - 5Mb" is real quantifiable.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
good point. still, though, 3 bars and 4-5mbps?? that's not good. i got 8-10mbps with 2 bars, indoors too!
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
Was looking at cyanogen's twitter again. He replied to someone about the BT sleep issue saying he knows how to fix it, just needs to get around to doing it.

Also, confirmed that wimax was working, but in a very roundabout way, and that more work needs to be done.
[EVO 4G General] BB15:
It's good compared to 1Mp on 3G. ;)
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
lol yes, of course. besides, the current wimax version isn't true 4g, that's wimax2, which was recently approved as a standard.
[EVO 4G General] WillJitsu:
Has no one else experienced the call log popping up immediately after a missed call? Mine started recently and I wish there was a way to disable that because it is clearing the notification from the top bar without any user interaction. Can anyone think of what might be causing this?
[EVO 4G General] rdcrds:
Can we please stop the 3g vs 4g stuff? i read this thread to see what is going on with the nightly's not a 3g vs 4g debate on batery life.

thank you.
[EVO 4G General] brule71:
Actually the current WiMax is true 4g. From what ive read the real issue involves how much spectrum Sprint is allocating in each market + total number of Sprint/Clear subscribers on any particular tower. The best news is Sprint has more spectrum than anyone else (including Verizon and AT&T) and can upgrade to WiMax2 or even switch to LTE pretty easily based on the standard of WiMax as well as the huge amount of spectrum they own...

So basically you can't compare different markets on speed because there are too many variables. I do think they will continue to improve it though since the Evo and Epic have been a hit!

*taking soapbox back inside, thanks for listening :) *
[EVO 4G General] Bizdady:
Something is going on with my phone, I just started draining fast 1% a minute, it finally slowed down at 73% after I started closing bunch of stuff. Odd, very odd lol Might just have to do a full wipe if this keeps up.
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
my apologies. you're right.

i don't want to go off topic any further, but i will correct my previous statement. i meant true 4g speeds :)

did you check in spare parts?
[EVO 4G General] pitmanr2003:
I have tried multiple cm6 roms. And all did same thing with mms. What settings exactly do you all use. I have no issue with sense roms. I tried caulcs mms fix. Same results
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
on some of the recent nightlies, you were able to close the app running in the foreground, by pushing the "back" button; this has disappeared in the last 2 nightlies, or at least I can't find them..anyone else find it anywhere?

Good news from twitter:

cyanogen: Was working on Evo WiMax yesterday, gotta figure out the power management. Woke up with a dead battery.

texastega: @cyanogen yes please! The bluetooth sleep problem as well. Kills my battery every time I have it on.

cyanogen: @texastega yeah i know how to fix that, just need to actually do it
[EVO 4G General] p-slim:
yeah I'm an ass sometimes :-)

you will love your n1, honestly its thr perfect size for an everyday phone. I just miss the front camera. n1 is definitely a daily driver. one thing that bugs me is the fact that the n1 has significantly less memory and I sometimes get memory notifications even with apps2sd.

*sorry everyone now back on topic :-)*
[EVO 4G General] barnacles10:
I'm sure you guys get this a lot in this thread, so I pre apoligize and I actually HAVE been reading the cyan commits, but from 8/28 or whenever 6.0 was launched can someone give me an overview of the BIG changes if any through the current nightly? I'm gonna be reflashin cyan from scratch and I'm not sure whether to go final again, or if there is anything that would make me want a nightly.
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
It would be cool to keep a changelog of these things in the first post, but it's hard to determine what are the major things that have improved. But here goes:

New Kernel .34. Improved speed and fps, but some charging issues. Also USB tether not working with this kernel yet.

Camera/Camcorder Touch to Focus

Camera/Camcorder auto focus based on holding camera still

Camcorder touch to focus while recording

Camera Settings Slider bars (brightness, contrast etc)

Option in settings>applications>development to kill current app by holding back button

Option to reboot into bootloader or recovery menu when holding down power.

Option to enable quiet hours to silence phone during certain time of day settings>cyanogen settings>sounds>enable quiet hours

edit: I also believe a lot of enhancements were made to the power control widget to customize what controls you want to see, and added more controls that weren't there before.

edit: I believe the Torch app/widget for LED flashlight is new too

edit: dismiss individual notifications by swiping left/right on them

Those are the main things I know of. If there's anything I missed, let me know.
[EVO 4G General] I[E:
Is anyone else experiencing screen tearing?

At first I thought it was related to Snap, but recently I've seen it in the nightlies running the stock CM kernel as well. Also, changing settings with NovaFreq help, but don't get rid of it completely. Setting it to 371 used to fix it.

I thought maybe my LCD was failing since NovaFreq wasn't helping, but not seeing it in Sense with HTC's Kernel at all.
[EVO 4G General] barnacles10:
Awesome. Thank you very much.
[EVO 4G General] wase4711:
Quiet hours doesnt show up in every nightly..not in the latest 108...
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
Also, go to www.cyanogenmod.com, click on change log, and then go down a little ways, and you can see the official change log. It mentions a lot of the same things I just mentioned.
[EVO 4G General] barnacles10:
awesome thanks, I always just checked the commits, didn't know about that. When do we get the .35 kernel :( haha
[EVO 4G General] -shift-:
toast is working on it. last i talked to him, he got it to boot, but it was pretty messy (driver-wise). i haven't checked his github recently, but i know he's working on it.
[EVO 4G General] barnacles10:
For sure, its hard to be too excited after coming from snap with turbo tho ha

I ran .34 for a while and noticed not one bit of difference. 7.6 is a beast.
[EVO 4G General] WillJitsu:
Can someone please try something for me? I've mentioned a couple of times in this thread that after a missed call, my Call Log is opening immediately, which is clearing the missed call notification from the top bar. Because of this, I don't get a blinking LED light, since there is no notification anymore. This all happens without me touching the phone. Try these steps if you're on the latest nightly please:

1. Have your phone screen off

2. Call your phone, let it ring, then hang up the phone you're calling from

3. Watch the screen on your phone as you hang up the call and see if the call log pops open

4. If it does, does the missed call notification clear from the top bar automatically?

5. Repeat this process at least once, since it doesn't open the call log for me after a fresh reboot.

Thanks!
